Ingredients

• 2 ripe mangoes
• 1 cup sago pearls
• 1 cup coconut milk
• 4 cups water
• 1/3 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup evaporated milk
• 2 cups ice cubes
• 1 handful mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Start by preparing the sago pearls. In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add the sago pearls, stirring gently to avoid sticking.

Step 2

Allow the sago to cook for about 10-15 minutes, or until the pearls are translucent with a small white dot in the center.

Step 3

Once cooked, drain the sago pearls using a fine mesh strainer and rinse them with cold water to remove any excess starch.

Step 4

Set the sago pearls aside in a bowl of cold water until needed to prevent them from sticking together.

Step 5

Peel the mangoes and remove the flesh from the seeds. Cut one and a half mangoes into small cubes and set aside.

Step 6

Take the remaining half mango and blend it into a smooth puree using a blender or food processor.

Step 7

In a large bowl, combine the sago pearls, mango cubes, mango puree, coconut milk, evaporated milk, and sugar. Stir until the sugar is fully dissolved.

Step 8

Cover and refrigerate the mixture for at least 30 minutes to chill and allow the flavors to meld.

Step 9

Before serving, prepare 2 cups of ice cubes and mix them into the chilled mango sago mixture to add a refreshing chill.

Step 10

Ladle the mango sago into serving bowls or glasses.

Step 11

Optionally, garnish with a sprig of fresh mint leaves for a touch of aroma and color before serving.
